hahaha, thats what i thought...

 

As Greg said, everyone check out the Raleigh to Deals Gap Caravan thread. Send either Greg or I your cell phone numbers, and bring money for your GRR T-shirts and also I'll have all the Deals Gap awards, including the Deals Gap Owners Award that the Raleigh Rotary Drive-In will be sponsoring. It should be about $40 so we'll divide that by the number of cars that make the trip, no more than $5 a piece, and someone from our group will get to make the presentation. We might even talk Greg into singing his RX7 song before the award is presented at the Saturday night dinner, everyone does have a tux for this event right? Well, how about those t-shirts with the tux printed on the front with a few grease stains?

Just 6 days 'til we leave!

 

the interior is gray and its not that icky red

 

Yay. If one of y'all is gonna buy them, let me know, I SOOO will buy parts off ya asap!!

 

the rained just stopped so im most likely comin tonight WOOHOO

i'll get to show off my "cryo-cooler"

 

Hate to keep bothering you about it, but was it a GXL or just a coupe....

 

Stab in the dark, but would any of you guys have a spare, working lead coil, and igniter laying around that I can borrow.

I was all ready to bring the car out last night, but the damn thing wouldn't start. Started in the morning, but not in the afternoon. you can assume how excited I am.

I suppose if nobody does I will have to order them. I have my money on the igniter, since the coil passes the check mandated in the book. However, some guys said that the coil can be fried, but still pass. I suppose it has to do with the resistance being less when it is cold, etc.

 

Is it the same as a s4 t2? I got one you can use to get you going. I hate to hear stuff like this. Good luck. I still have a lot to do hopefully I start her today.

Johny

 

i dunno, it only had the single piston calipers and 5 lug wheels im not sure which one that is, so your guess is as good as mine

 

Here is the First of april meets pictures, and as you can see it was a small turnout, only being greg, steve, me, and the new guy ( sorry i forgot your name)

but did anyone else make it out last night? if so i can just draw them in

4 cars...thats it



This is gregs convertable that he is taking to TOTD


And the new guy's "rare" sunroof-less FC

 

Thanks Johny, but I think I have a lineup on a FD coil & igniter. I might make it to TOTD after all.

 

Thanx for the info....

Its gotta be a 91 coupe then.... Unless they switched the wheels on me.....

 

Hey guys, first of all i should apologize for not making it to the meet. I honestly didn't even realize we were having one this weekend. But hey, the weather wasn't to great either way right?

I did have a little fun today with some friends around campus in our cars. Here's two videos we put together.

Here's my dyno vid
...and here's the video of our whole day

And for the numbers that I put down, all i gotta say is that the 303rwhp is accurate but we're still pretty undecided about that damn torque number.

BTW - you shoulda seen the looks on the guys faces when we wanted to dyno the e55. They thought it was joke and were almost speachless when they saw the numbers.

 

he cant get an rx7 signal for ****. my readings were 446 and 1200.

 

we figured the hp was fine but the torque was doubled due to the wire only being on one of the leading plugs.

 

ok so i got the car problem straightened out thanks to Jonathan. It was the leading coil.

still looks like my car won't be up for the 5 hour trip to the mountains. that is i don't want to chance it without having logged some time. so the question is; does anyone have a passenger's seat i can ride in. we can split gas, which is no small feat these days. If not I will try and catch the stragglers at this weekends meet.

 

We'll Tiffany is alive again I ran it tonight for about 2 hrs It even idled at 750 rpm I had an oil leak I think it was the mop. I tightened the pan but it was dark. Im so excited I can't wait to drive her again. I still have a few more things to do.

Josh I'm kinda in the same boat as you BUT... You're going.and Im going you can ride with me I'll come get you if you want We can take my 4runner It has a DVD player we can watch Fast and furious or my Drift video from japan. We'll see how my car progresses this week ' and will make a decision later on. But you're GOING

Johny

 

Hey guys...
Did anyone ever decide to buy those two black FC's that Capn put up on here a while ago?

I just blew the front rotor on my '91 FC3C and I may be interested in a running engine... also perhaps a left-front fender and some other odds and ends... hell, I might even consider buying the damn things even if no one else is interested... but I don't know if they're still out there and all.

On a related note, anyone heard of any s5 TII powerplant/tranny's for sale? I was thinking that if I have to bother to fix the damn thing, I might as well upgrade. Parts are not so easy to find though... so maybe I'll just rebuild it. Any ideas?

 

Sorry, just had to post the last video. This ones the best.

here

 

Johny, Josh is your responsibility, get him to Deals Gap. We'll all chip in and buy a tow strap if you end up taking your 4Runner, maybe you can tow his FD up there. But you need to check your gaskets and tighten the screws and we all would sure like to see that white beauty on the road.

 

WannabeFC is interested in the black FC that capn posted pictures of that is in good condition. I guess he actually wants to buy both and sell the parts one for $500 or something like that.

-Rob

 

cool.. thanks Rob...

I guess I'll see if that's going down... I just noticed though that I'm outta luck on the fender at least.. the "parts car" of the two has the same freakin' fender all beat to sh*t. Whatever.. we'll see.

 

Hey taylor, can you put those videos in mpg format? i got a mac computer and i cant watch them in the format you have it in. Thanks.....

 

i honestly would have no clue how to do that. I could maybe try to do it but even then, I don't know how to host these files. I'll ask my friend to do it though.

 

Yeah, I am planning on getting the one in good condition, but I don't need the parts car.... If anybody needs it, let me know....
